We are facing unprecedented challenges. In a world of growing uncertainty, we need to produce more and better food for a growing population and ensure it is accessible to all, breaking the barriers that exclude millions from access.

We have to be careful we do not gamble with people’s livelihoods. Food system transformation has to be taken in incremental steps with positive proofs of concept rather than through ideology.
